Every 3 hours over 24 hours

I feel like my body is going to shut down. This sleep regression has my once awesome sleeper up every 3 hours eating, sometimes for 40 min @ a time @ night. My boobs are killing, I'm exhausted, & I dread evenings now. It's been a good 3 weeks - someone please tell her to stop!!! Seriously, all day and night!!

You're lucky! Our sleep regression of up every hour is over and I'm happy with every three hours! LO has always been hungry every three hours on the dot besides the dreaded month of sleep regression. So sad ;(

:-( no advice here. I just dealt with it. I work full time too. And some nights she would literally be up every single hour at night. She didn't need to eat every time she woke up so sometimes DH would go in, give her her paci, and rock her back down if the paci alone didn't work. But yeah. It lasted for about 6 weeks...some nights worse than others.

So tonight new tactic...gave her pumped milk after bath & a cranky nursing session. I was wondering if she wasn't getting enough just before bed. Let her get to sleep on her own which included about 5 minutes of crying before passing out. Will let you know how it goes!!
And sorry to sound like as though my experience is just horrible- it's not the worst, but I'm in it & it's tough for me right now...
Thanks for the encouragement :)
